Hardening refers to attack surface reduction in IT environments and can be applied to any type of device or software environment, including storage area networks (SANs). Firmware and software patches should be applied to ensure that potential security flaws in code have been addressed. In this course, I will begin by covering hardening techniques for a variety of IT environments, followed by using Microsoft Group Policy to configure security settings for Active Directory domain-joined computers. Next, I will discuss storage area networks and related security considerations. I will then remove the need for virtual machine (VM) public IP addresses by allowing remote access through Microsoft Azure Bastion. I will discuss the importance of applying hardware and software patches. Lastly, I will install and configure a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server and deploy updates to Microsoft Azure virtual machines. This course can be used to prepare for the CS0-003: CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst+ exam.
